The Belly of the Dragon 🐉 Kanab, Utah

A short walk through a manmade tunnel is the highlight of this unique, family-friendly trail located just 20 miles east of Zion National Park. The cave-like tunnel/Belly of the Dragon was originally created as a water culvert under HWY89 but over time drainage from the upper canyon, water flow has carved the sandstone walls and created a beautiful rippling tunnel prime for exploring. This is such a great adventure with kids so bring the whole family and have some fun!

The Sand Caves are located 5 miles north of Kanab on the right side of the highway. These sand caves are easily accessed and can be seen from HWY 89. The hike itself is a short half-mile round trip hike. These sand caves were man-made when they began mining for the sand in the area. The mining process was short-lived and now we have these spectacular caves to explore.
